There are at least ten windows emulators for the Mac on the market and although It costs more, VMWare Fusion is frequently rated superior to Parallels Desktop. There is even a possibility of Microsoft Windows for ARM. So Parallels Desktop has a lot of competition and the market is shrinking. And, whether you like them or not, Corel has successfully gone head to head with Adobe and Microsoft Office and kept CorelDRAW and WordPerfect viable by focusing on specific niche markets. So the sale of Parallels Desktop to Corel, may be its salvation to be applauded rather than decried.
